You Must Register to Download LightZone

Update: Effective March, 2014, you must be a fully registered member of The LightZone Project in order to download the program. See the message above about registration. Once the registration process is fully completed and you have logged in after approval, you will see the download links for Linux, Windows, and Mac in the left sidebar. Approval is now automatic. Refresh your browser if you do not see the links. Contact us if you have further problems, but please follow the instructions in "contact". The program remains free of charge. We are requiring membership for security purposes, to better track the downloads, and to help build the community in order to attract developers and improve the knowledge base. It is fine if you do not wish to participate in the forums---no one is forcing you to---- but we would like you to participate and believe that in the long run a larger member base will be better for the project, especially in terms of attracting development support. We do not think it is too much to ask that you register in exchange for free and quite interesting software. We hope that you like it as much as we do, and will share with the community your experiences, questions, and comments.

I have always felt that October 1 meant the first real day of Fall where I live. And I have also felt that each season in its turn marked a new beginning, not just Spring. So it pleases me that our beta test of the new version of LZ begins today. Read on for more....
